superfIuous COLLEGES.

Mr.. James G. Clark is q very rich man liy-
ing in Worcester, Massachusetts,. His prop
erty mounts far up into the millions Mr..
Clark has just announced his intention of
founding university in the city of Worces-
ter, which shall be called by his name. and
be an imperishable monument to his gener-
osity to the cause of education His first
gift will be the magnificent sum OF 81, 0O0, 900.
but he does not intend to limit his beney-
olence to this sum, but viii add from time to
time such sums as the development Of the
institution may seem to justify. 1t may seem
ungracious to criticise so noble gift as Mr.
Clarks, but we cannot help thinking that he
could have done more service to the cause of
education with 100000 than by founding a
new college where colleges in superabundance
exist already. The multiplication of the
higher institutions of learning beyond the
needs of the people is mistake which hurts
education more than it helps it. One or two
strong, well equipped colleges, with sufficient
endowments to enable them to secure the
services Of men most eminent in the vari-
GUS branches Of learning can supply all the
needs Of a State of the population of Massa-
chusetts much better than half dozen,
some of which must necessarily be rather
weak and puny affairs. Here in Maine we
have four colleges. The cause of education
would be.promoted by the reduction of the
number to two. Massachusetts has four,
several more than are needed, and Mr.. Clark
proposes still further to increase the super

The Lewiston Journal has got at some of
the true inwardness Of the appointment of
Mr.. Redman as collector of internal revenue
and Col. Cromwell as deputy collector. 1t
seems that it was Cromwell that drew up
that now famous letter signed by the State
committee recommending Redman for any
Office in the gift of the President. He got
the signatures of all the committee without
difficulty until he struck Captain Chase, who
was then collector The Captain was a little
suspicious of the paper and asked Cromwell
gruffly what its purpose was. Cromwell re-
piled, 'Oh, just to make john feel good-he
can pnt it in his archives and show it to his
children" Down went the Captains name.
But the document did not go into Johns ar
chiyes, but was taken to the White House
where 1t was exhibited to the President. It
secured for Redman the Internal revenue col
lectorship and ousted Captain Chase, and the
latter has never quite got over his dlscom-
future at the trick thatwas played on him.
OF course after Redman became collector
Cromwell promptly stepped up and claimed
recognition and got it in the shape of a
deputy collectorship.

Idle convIcts.

{ winter the New York Legislature
shed the prison contract system and
tituted nothing in place of it, The re-
1t has been that in the Auburn peniten-
larry during the year the convicts have been
living for the most part in idleness. In this
prison there are 1854 persons. Hereto
fore it has been self-sustaining, but this
year by reason Of the action Of the last
Legislature its cost to the taxpayers will be
$4,000. But the pecuniary loss is an inslg-
nifcant matter as compared with the effect
of enforced idleness upon the prisoners
Forty-three Of them have gone insane, while
great many more have fallen into what the
chaplain calls a "semi-fatuous" condition
close to the confines of insanity. Sickness
among them has increased greatly, and it
has never been so difficult to maintain the
prison discipline. In the Sing Sing prison,
on the other hand, where by reason of the
holding over of the contracts all the con yicts
have been kept steadily at work, the surplus
of earnings over expenditure has been
$4,000 and the physical condition of the
inmates is of the highest order. Here are
some facts that our legislators should bear in
mind when they tackle, as they are soon 60
ing to do, the question Of labor in our own
State prison They would seem to be sufli-
ciently impressive to deter the lawmakers
eaom doing anything that may result in intro
ducing idleness into the prison. II the work
can be so arranged as to be less hurtful to
outside labor it ought to be done. But there

lovely Women In the White House.

Baltimore American.
The talk today has been of the brilliant re-
ceptlon last night at the White House. 1t is
conceded that never before has there been
such display of diamonds. Mrs. Senator
Stanford fairly shone with precious stones,
ana II Is said her diamonds cost S50O.OO0
There never was such display in the White
House, except that made by Mrs John Ja-
cob Astor. Mrs. Frank Leslie was another
lady whose diamonds attracted attention.
The stones she wofc in her ears were the fa-
NOUS diamonds about which so much has
been written. They looked the size of birds
eggs. The entire front of her decollette eor=
sage was one blaze of the precious stones.
There We're other displays Of diamonds but
the two spoken of were the most magniii-
cent. 1t seemed as il some of the dressing. or
rather the want of it, was carried to ex-
tremes. Talk about the Chicago ministers
protesting against the American Opera bal
iet! The display OF necks, arms, and busts
last night laid way over any ballet show nj
any theatre. Some Of the ladies seemed 20

beaten in his fight for the New York SEN

A bill has been introduced into the House
by Col. Dow looking to the publication
OF tho caucus That something in this
direction is needed has been apparent for
some time past to everybody who has been
familiar with the primaries in this city,
Democrats with no intention of voting the
Republican ticket have frequently decided
contests in Republican caucuses, and Re
publicans have sometimes snned in this d.
rection. 1t is proposed now to forbid this
practice and make itan offense punishable
by law This is step in the right direction,
but 1t is goingto be pretty difficult to detect
tle-~ellprit, and when caught even more
difficult to convict him, for the defence that
he had changed his politics will always be
open to him.

The Ney York organ of the Knights of
LAIR, The Leader, is just now the victim of
strike and boycott growing out of the rails
ing Of the price of the paper from 30 to 80
cents hundred, and the discharge of the de-
livery clerk because another could be got to
do his work at 81 week less salary The
managers of the paper say that the changes
were absolutely necessary to keep the paper
going. as their receipts were getting less than
the expenditures, but thenewsboys, who are
the aggrieved ones, will accept no such ex.
PLANTATION, and are pelting with mud and stones
the other boys whom the managers have
got to take the places Of the strikers. The
boys seem to have learned very perfectly the
mode OF procedure of many of the grown up
knights under similar circumstances.
